Mermaid Corpse Dropped Off In Front of UK Starbucks

Last Sunday morning, artist Laura Keeble dumped this fantastic sculpture outside an Essex Starbucks – their consumer avatar mermaid drowning in coffee beans, grounds, half-molten Styrofoam cups and filth. The installation Wish you were here?… lasted a few hours until Starbucks hauled it away. The effigy was the artist’s contribution to UK’s first annual ARTSIDE project.
